I had a question but none of the existing threads are really too relevant so I thought making a general help thread from the get-go (beyond what’s in the welcome thread) would be good so even if my question gets answered the thread can be used for other people’s questions

I’m making a papercraft where I want to paint part of it gold for some extra pop, but I want neat and clean lines. I’ve seen a lot of artists use washi tape to do this in their art and I want something similar, but I have inkjet prints and don’t want any of the ink to lift up. Any tape recommendations? Or possibly other techniques? I’ve done some googling but I don’t wanna take my chances with buying a ton of tape just to test it.

Blue tape shouldnt lift it,I can check masking tape when i get home if you want, i have an HP2700 inkjet too.

Could also just use a ruler to separate where you do and don't want lines.

If you’re able to test it that would be great! I already have the paint so I would prefer that (since a ruler can move around and I’m using a brush) but if worse comes to shove I’ll just look into buying a paint pen and using the ruler with that

I'll come back to this thread later then, i work for another like 7 hours, I'll leave the tape on for awhile too before tryna pull it off.

So I'm a little late, I didnt notice any tearing after leaving it on for like 30 minutes, for security tho I would suggest just trying yourself with some masking tape, its cheap couple bucks a roll. Its what I use for Airbrushing and it doesnt seem to rip up airbrush paint for the record.

Does anyone know if there are any Cospa papercraft templates online? I think they're typically plastic, but I've heard that there's templates online. Pic related is what they look like.

Sorry for not responding, was very busy.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll just test with some different tapes when I get the chance and post my results

I'm stuck on step 13 of Robert Lang's crab from "Origami Zoo". Pic related.
I also don't know how that fucking triangle in the middle exists suddenly. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Never mind, I figured it out. I think he left out an important part of these steps. The triangle in the middle was the key for what I was doing wrong. I KNEW I had done everything correct up to this point, so it was just about figuring out what I missed.

some sites you use to find templates? im a begginer
